Lots of people talk about claiming compensation for their accident. Lots of people want to make a claim. But not many people know what happens in the day to day management of an accident claim. Cast your eye below to see what has been happening so far today at Direct 2 Solicitors Ltd.
Helping Clients
As always, we have been busy talking to our clients and Solicitors regarding claims. I have just spent 40 minutes on the phone taking details of a claim. A retired gentleman on Holiday with his Wife in Torquay sustained some really nasty injuries tripping on a very badly damaged footpath. They are extremely keen to lodge a claim for compensation. So what did I do?
As well as needing information about their accident from the clients so we can build a viable claim for them, we needed witness information. In this case, I was after a Hazard Witness. As it happened, the Gentleman who owned the Holiday accommodation where the client was staying has come forward to act as a Hazard Witness. It transpires that this Gentleman has complained to Torbay Council on more than 4 occasions over the last year about the dangerous and hazardous footpath outside his Holiday Flats. Yet no remedial action or repair has been carried out by Torbay Council. Indeed, they have not even inspected the area. Clearly this witness is far from happy with the Council. As a result of ignoring the complaints made to them, the Council could well be held liable for the injuries sustained by our client. Thus the supporting Hazard Witness Statement will assist greatly in our Solicitors obtaining a successful outcome for our client. So after speaking to the client, I called the Hazard Witness and discussed the pathway in question. He is more than happy to assist with the compensation claim and we now await his statement. This is a good news story. We have tracked the witness down and he is happy to cooperate. It is not always like this! But some of the investigating work we do in tracking down folk who can play a vital role in the success or failure of a claim can be fun (even if it can be hard work!).
Accident Claims. More than meets the eye
You see, there is more to making an accident compensation claim than many would believe, especially those that pedal the myth about the compensation culture. It is not enough to say you fell and were injured. We need evidence. Public Liability related claims need to be supported by photographs of hazardous pavements. Independent Witnesses need to be found who are willing to state that a defective and dangerous area of footpath has been in situ for a considerable period; it is dangerous and has been ignored by the Council responsible for the maintenance of the footpath. It is with such information and proof, that we can achieve success with a No Win No Fee claim.
Building a viable claim
Fielding calls (the phones are ringing around me this morning) from people wishing to find out if they have a viable compensation claim and sorting the wheat from the chaff is one part. But we also do many other things too. Such as liaising with Solicitors about the details of the enquiry when needed, making sure we have the full details about the accident, losses and injuries so we can commence our claim file, starting an accident claim application, speaking to witnesses, reviewing photographs, appointing regional claims managers to visit accident sites, submitting claims to our Solicitors, and much, much more beside!
What is our involvement in your accident claim?

We work tirelessly to do so and 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday is a busy time for the team here at Direct 2 Solicitors Ltd.
